I can’t believe that I haven’t seen one post about this photo asking about WTAF is that font and why was it used for “NEW ZEALAND”?!

Let the remanufacturing begin! (Actually this is the last step…the angle grinder has been in heavy use on the rest of the case)

YAAASSSSSSS that’s what I’m talking about. LFG.

He seems like a really proud boy… Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

New Zealand seems to be trying to attract the absolute worst humans on the planet for some reason.

Is “complicit w/genocide” the thing that gets AoNZ to general strike? Economy is shite, fullscale culture war on te ou Māori & Te Tiriti, fossil fuel exploration/environmental exploitation everywhere, attack on equality. Or is it still “she’ll be right” into fascism? Asking for fkn all of us. #nzpol

Good thing our decision on recognition won’t be manipulated for propaganda effect by anyone - that was a bullet dodged by our wise political masters!!!

VOTE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE WELP THEY DO. Tāmaki Makaurau (and many other places I’m certain) is rife with these trash-merchants, let’s send them packing.

FOOKIN EMBARRASSING THE LOT OF YAS

This just gets memory holed

The Green Party says the Government’s decision not to recognise Palestinian statehood is cowardly, and a stain on Aotearoa’s reputation as a voice for peace and justice internationally. www.greens.org.nz/govt_cowardl...

Worth expressly noting that the ONLY reason given in Peters' speech for why AoNZ should recognise Israel and not Palestine as a state is that Palestine "does not control its own territory". So, we reward Israel for its illegal actions + will keep doing so until it chooses to stop.

Hey AoNZ folks, my brother is a musician looking for a booking agent here to get a “tour” going. If anyone knows of one, or even better a trusted one, or can even make a connection with someone who might, gimme a shout? #kikorangi #nzmusic #aotearoa linktr.ee/lee_winright

The real elephant in the room in NZ is the current govt is doing nothing about climate change and its policies actively make it worse. The truth bomb is NZ is being a hypocrite on the world stage and lauding it is embarrassing @rnzrss.bsky.social

New Zealand improved (in both raw score and more-so in rank due to others' declines) in 2025 in the press freedom index. Despite improvements, our general weaknesses are late stage capitalism sucking resources out of reporting and individuals who feel it is OK to threaten the press.

On my roadie yesterday I saw another one of those Groundswill signs 'Paris Agreement is Killing Our Livelihood' outside this exceptional Oamaru stone farmhouse... I congratulate you on your outstanding gaslighting game dickheads.

We have a project that has been in motion for a LONG time and we are looking to launch for this summer. Between me and my cousins we are launching a cultural eco tours in Wairarapa. If you're interested, let us know via the form below if weekday or weekend tours work for you. wairarapatours.com

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

This. We are getting hounded. We are getting worn down. Please ring your mates, have the awkward conversation because it is so exhausting having to justify this and our existence.

Three guesses what country I just got back from with some new vinyl. Should only need one guess really

The always wonderful Emily Writes rightfully asks how us Kiwis have memory holed one of the world's best #COVID responses (just so that rightwing Atlas Network shills could divide us and forget they're destroying our nation in record time): www.emilywrites.co.nz/why-are-peop...

The unemployment rate in New Zealand is 5.2%. 400,000 people are underutilised – the highest on record. Unemployment is 4.2% in Oz, and it has a growing economy - unlike NZ. We are losing a New Zealander every 7 minutes and 24 seconds. New Zealand is hurting, and it's not working.

Artist Pepper Racoon ( @pepperraccoon.com ) interview is now online. This is ridiculous. Boycott all US based Goods & Services now. #nzpol

Is it wrong to ask WTAF of any board members here on this website? I mean hey @dylanreeve.com can you comment on this?

So InternetNZ choosing to platform racist comments in their reports is a choice. One I wouldn't choose to do, unless you were going to call it out. So WE, as Māori, again have to read this report and just be ok with it. internetnz.nz/assets/Archi...

The acting head of Data & AI for the Israel national #Cybersecurity Directorate was arrested in a Nevada operation targeting child sex predators. He was in Las Vegas for Black Hat and was caught trying to lure a child for a sex act. Released and returned. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

"If we want to defend against synthetic manipulation, we need to understand not just what people believe, but why it resonates." 🎯 | How Fake AI Political Accounts Fool Us www.psychologytoday.com/nz/blog/misg...

The fact that this fake image shows a sign with “Respect their hands” and then shows the fkd up AI generated hands, and uses stolen images to create GenAI slop to demand respect for people that actually do the work is poetic.

Chlöe Swarbrick at "peak theatrics" says man who drove car up parliament steps to distract everyone from the "Tim Jago thing"

30yrs ago a masterpiece was released and on the back cover of the CD was a band photo with a gig poster of #Clutch w/an opening act that we opened for in a venue I played many times and now I have the 30th anniversary numbered limited release with signed insert and I’m over the moon (pun intended)
